Wild River Run

Uploaded: September 21, 2006

Description

Two cowboys cross the river at high speed on the way home in the late afternoon. I captured this shot of two friends of mine who had a ball running their horses through the water of the Santa Ana River in Norco California to give me the opportunity to capture this shot. It was taken just minuntes before the sun disappeared beyond the western horizon. This provided rich warm sunlight for this image. I did catch some sun flare but I think it still works O.K. in this image.
f/3.2 at 1/1600 second ISO 800
Canon 70-200mm at 125mm - AIV 101306

Exif: FNumber: 3.2, ExposureBiasValue: -1/3, ExposureTime: 0.000625, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 800, WhiteBalance: auto white balance
